NBA Handicapping: Washington Wizards remain without an identity

Like a lot of teams in the NBA, the Washington Wizards witnessed what the Golden State Warriors accomplished last season and thought, hey, let's give this up-tempo, small-ball thing a try. Thus far, it hasn't worked out as the Wizards (9-10 SU/ATS) currently rank 22nd in both offensive and defensive efficiency. Last season, they ranked 19th and 5th, respectively. Washington is a -3 home favorite over Houston with a total of 215.5 for tonight.
